Castleton University and Fulton-Montgomery Community College Partner with Articulation Agreement
Castleton University and Fulton-Montgomery Community College have formed a collaborative agreement to create a pathway for bachelor’s degree completion.
The agreement creates a streamlined transition for Fulton-Montgomery graduates to continue their education by pursuing a bachelor’s degree at Castleton University.
Under the agreement, students who graduate from Fulton-Montgomery with a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher will qualify for guaranteed admission to Castleton. Students coming from Fulton-Montgomery with a completed associate degree will be granted junior standing in their first year and complete their remaining credits toward a bachelor’s degree at Castleton.

Scolforo. “This agreement creates an affordable option for students to achieve their dream of earning a bachelor’s degree.”
The agreement also extends the Maple Scholarship to Fulton-Montgomery graduates when they enroll at Castleton. The scholarship reduces out-of-state tuition to the equivalent of Vermont resident tuition.
To qualify for the Maple Scholarship, a candidate must be a resident of a county that neighbors Vermont or in the process of earning an associate degree from Fulton-Montgomery. Recipients of the Maple scholarship must be full-time matriculated students, live on campus, and maintain satisfactory academic progress. The Maple Scholarship is renewable each year a student meets the requirements.
Additionally, students who have earned an associate degree from Fulton-Montgomery will be considered for additional merit scholarships.
“We are very pleased to partner with Castleton University to provide this opportunity for our graduates to continue their education,” said Fulton-Montgomery Community College Acting President Dr. Gregory Truckenmiller. “Such transfer agreements support the mission of Fulton-Montgomery Community College to provide high quality educational experiences.
